Best "ALBUM" of the 70's?

[joyfulgirl]

Damn, I love the 70s. I'm glad I was there.

 

[XHendrix24]

If you're going to pick an Eno album I'd say you HAVE to go with Another Green World. Unparalleled to this day.

With Eno's pop albums, it's really like choosing between my children. But while Another Green World owns pretty much everything as far as atmosphere goes, the songs on Here Come the Warm Jets are probably Eno's best collection to date.

BABY'S ON FFIIIRRREEEEE

 

[thatsnotmypuppy]

Tapestry - Carole King

 

[If you shout...]

One glaring omission to thread:

NOW we're good.

Top five, easy. But I still stand by The Boss.

 

[MsMofoGone]

Pink Floyd - The Wall
Journey - Infinity

 

[gareth brown]

David Bowie - Low
Pink Floyd - Animals
DEVO - Q. Are We Not Men? A. We are DEVO!
DEVO - Duty Now For The Future
Kraftwerk - The Man Machine
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti

 

[AnnRKeyintheUSA]

Led Zeppelin Physical Grafitti

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Pink Floyd - The Wall (just barely over Dark Side)

Love this decade the best!

Queen - Night at the Opera (honorable mention)

 

[blueeyedgirl]

I reiterate:

"Arrival" by Abba

And since this list is boringly dominated by Brit and Seppo artists I submit:

Skyhooks "Living in the 70s"
Midnight Oil "Head Injuries"
Split Enz "True Colours"

 

[FitzChivalry]

But, the best album of the 70's has to be...

Steely Dan - Aja

Though I'd also be happy with

 

[bayou12780]

absolutely groundbreaking... defined an era.
although the soundtrack from rocky horror would have to be a close 2nd.

Gaye trumps Eno. A far greater sin has been corrected.

You people wonder why I'm an asshole. 5 pages. How am I the first to mention this?

good call. add Sly & The Family Stone - There's a Riot Going On and you've got
the yang to marvin's yin so to speak.

also missing... patti smith - horses

 

[MrBrau1]

Your inclusion of this among such a glorious list of truly glorious album negates all awesome of what could have been an awesome list.

You fail.

agreed. He should have included this Aerosmith album.

 

[MrBrau1]

And this thing. An American Legend.

This isn't even my fav T.Rex album (Tanx hold that honor) It's a shame that everyone thinks disco and prog rock when they think 70's music.
It was actually an amazing decade across the board.

 

[Screwtape2]

You forgot a few Brau.

 

[MrBrau1]

more proof 1971 was the greatest year ever for recorded music.

Having only one Stevie Wonder album on here is criminal.

Let's add Music of my Mind andTalking Book to what is a quality list.

I listen to"I Wish" at least once a week. For ass-shaking purposes.

Weller is God. Witness his birth.

That's most definitely a great ass-shake tune.

Songs in the Key of Life.....

I saw Quadrophenia, but not Who's Next. I believe that deserves being on the list.
